Kathmandu, May 24
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the virus can be managed in countries
where monkeypox is not widespread. Monkeypox has infected more than 100 people in the
Americas, Europe, and Australia. Although the number is anticipated to climb, scientists believe the risk is significantly lower in huge groups.
The virus is highly common in central and western Africa’s rural areas. WHO’s Van Karkova believes it can be regulated. Outside of Africa, the virus has been discovered in 16 nations.
Despite the fact that this is the greatest outbreak outside of Africa in 50 years, doctors believe the risk is not comparable to the coronavirus epidemic since monkeypox is not easily transmitted to people. Outside of Africa, the WHO believes a large-scale vaccination effort is not required to combat the monkeypox outbreak.
A senior WHO official told Reuters that contact tracking, isolation, and safe sex were the first stages in managing the spread.
The US has announced it has a limited supply of licensed vaccinations for buffer and
monkeypox and is planning to make them available to anyone who has been in close contact with sick persons. Fever, headache, stomach, back discomfort, muscular pains, and twitches are all early signs of infection. Fever can emerge on the face and other regions of the body, especially the palms and soles of the feet, after it has set in.
